Hi all. I am almost 30 (I've got about 10 days left of my 20's). I am an Army wife 
and a mother of one 9 year old boy. Because of the military lifestyle and all of the moves (MO, TX, VA, WA, Germany, GA, WA, and now TN) it has been hard for me to complete my degree, but I am about 16 months away from graduating school and becoming a registered nurse. 
I started putting on pounds in 2003 when we moved to Germany. Over the course of the past 5 years I have gained about 60 pounds. Deployments and moves and school have taken all of my available energy.
Weight loss and fitness have become a priority for me for many reason. Some selfish (I wanna look hott again!), some practical (I don't want to be a "do as I say, not as I do" health-care professional & parent), and a because I am now more than well aware of my own mortality and what "a few extra pounds" can do to the human body in the long run.
Anyway - I look foreward to getting to know everyone and loosing those pounds!
